Sorry, bakers. I am and will be a loyal customer of cakewalk products, but due to the web comparison possibilities:(this might be of special interest for european customers) at the thomann cyberstore i find izotope ozone5 for 189 Euros instead of your special priced offer of 199 Euros. Correct me, if i am wrong yours sincerely Michael

The same for the Breverb (on the Overloud website, the full version is cheaper than the CW upgrade offer !)...

Sorry, IT WAS cheaper (117 € vs 129 €), but now the price of the full version seems to be 157 € (however, Sonar X2 PE owners have already got more than half the full version...)

$199 for Ozone 5 is the regular price at Guitar Center, Sweetwater and Amazon.

Like they say - Caveat Emptor!

There's a price discrepancy within the Cakewalk E-Store Europe, too: by buying the ProChannel Pack Bundle, you'll end up spending € 6.50 more than if you buy them individually. Not a massive difference, sure, but kind of removes the point of bundles. It's like you're paying extra for the comfort of adding 1 item to your basket instead of 4..! Weird.

I have made these points countless times...

What Cake calls "Sonar X2 Customer Special Prices" are nothing more then
regular current selling prices.

The only thing I will buy from the Cake store are Cake Products...
and only when on sale.

I can ALWAYS find better prices elsewhere on anything else they sell,
but that's just me....and sometimes I can even find better prices on 
Cake things as well.

That's not correct. Yes there are some instances where pricing may be less on another store. That can happen and unfortunately we can't control it. But most of the specials up there are indeed a good value. Overloud stuff is all less expensive on our site through this promotion. I just went and checked my self. Chromaphone is also less expensive. iZotope Ozone 5 is priced the same as other vendors in the US but it doesn't cost more. Additionally, we have run specials from other industry partners with huge savings. So I don't think you are right. But of course, you are welcome to shop around for the best prices. That's the beauty of the digital age :)

I will have to agree with Andrew on this concerning the Overloud stuff. I just got the bundle because it's a good deal!

Even if I was to take CW up on all it's "special pricing" for each individual product that I got in the Overloud bundle, it would have cost me $483. And that's going to the Overloud site and getting the Vintage Keyboard Fx's plug (@ 20% off) there because you can't get it alone at the CW store.

Yeah I read this thread and then did some checking. Not a whole lot, but some. And I got the Overloud bundle through the CW eStore. I got a good deal.

I agree that the Overloud prices are indeed good.  Although I have still found better.

Chromophone is ALSO the SAME price on the AAS Webiste...NO SPECIAL THERE. INTRO OFFER.  I have the email.


All the Izotope stuff is the same as anywhere....current selling price, and is FAR LESS elsewhere.

I bought the Softube Mix Bundle from CAKE....on the inital offeriing...THAT was the lowest price it had been offered for
and it is STILL a really good price at $179 when they offer it.  THAT was money very well spent.


My statement is meant to be general Andrew - NOT ALL INCLUSIVE FOLKS....
And it is quite factual that your "SPECIAL for X2 Users ONLY" is an intentional deception,
as those things can usually be found for far LESS elsewhere, even for NON X2 NON CAKEWALK customers.


I'm not bashing Cake...I'm bashing their CRAZY marketers...and of course Andrew will defend...
THAT'S HIS JOB!!


And I do shop around....A LOT...that's why I know if the prices are good or not..

OK cclarry we get your POINT.

But SERIOUSLY where was OVERLOUD TOTAL BUNDLE CHEAPER than the CAKEWALK store?
